My apologies for some of the typos and extra words in my last posting
- my terminal emultor seems to not be functioning 100% correctly and
I didn't catch it till I read the article as a regular posting.

Also I would like to add, for what it's worth, that Britain which
had a totally open health system (if you got sick on British soil
they paid all your medical bills) had to limit free access to only
it's citizens as people were coming to Britain with the express
purpose of "getting" sick.  Their own countries did not have such
generous health plans so they got the British taxpayer to pick up
the tab.  The government eventually decided it was not fair to expect
the taxpayers to pay for someones care who would then just turn around
and leave the country.
